Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 527 - 504: Making Contact
Chapter 527: Chapter 504: Making Contact
’This formation is mainly composed of three layers of spiral patterns.
These are the basic gravity pattern, the devouring pattern that can absorb spiritual power, and the fierce fire pattern that can attack enemies.
If someone steps in recklessly, not only will the operation of spiritual power be difficult, but moving the body will also be extremely inconvenient, and in the end, they will be engulfed by raging flames…’
’The core of the formation is these demonic tigers.
If there is a way to temporarily remove them from this place, a flaw will appear in the formation…’
Thinking of this, Lou Yi picked up a piece of broken stone from the ground.
He gently tossed it into a nearby hole, which made a ’snap’ sound.
As expected, two demonic tigers were attracted and walked towards that hole.
As the demonic tigers left the formation area, Lou Yi could feel that several vulnerabilities appeared in the formation in an instant.
Without thinking, he took a step forward and simultaneously swung the formation-breaking flag, creating a special wave that allowed him to slip through the flaws.
He seemed to merge with the formation in front of him, indistinguishable from each other.
’Good!’ Lou Yi was overjoyed.
Since he could temporarily blend into the formation, he didn’t have to worry about the formation detecting him before the two demonic tigers returned.
He easily passed through these demonic tigers and proceeded deeper.
“Save me…” A faint cry for help resounded in Lou Yi’s heart.
Lou Yi turned a deaf ear, and when he came to a water pool, he stopped and frowned.
The water pool was about a hundred square meters, surrounded by rocky walls. The water surface was somewhat dark, bottomless, and there was no road to continue in the sky prison.
’Could it be that I have to dive into the pool?’ Lou Yi’s expression became somewhat solemn.
He activated his detection skill and found that it was impossible to probe the bottom of the pool.
’Forget it, it’s just an avatar after all.’
Lou Yi lightly leaped, sinking steadily into the water like an elevator, without making any noise.
The water was dead silent, without any sign of life.
Lou Yi was in no hurry and continued to sink.
He sank for a mile deep before starting to accelerate.
At this time, the cry for help in his heart became clearer and clearer.
“Save me!”
“Who are you?” Lou Yi asked in his heart.
“…” The person seeking help was obviously surprised that someone would respond, and after a moment of confusion, said to himself, “Right, who am I?”
Lou Yi: …
After a while, the person seeking help awkwardly replied:
“I remember now… I am Xiao Sanlang, one of the few true martial artists in this world.
I stepped into the Profound Light Realm, even had the chance to break through to higher realms, but they targeted me, obstructing me at every turn…”
Upon hearing this, Lou Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
Why does it sound like ancient warriors are not tolerated by the world?
The mysterious voice in his heart continued: “… In a fit of rage, I stormed into the Yellow Springs Sect’s sacred hall, killed their Holy Daughter, completely shattered the Golden Core…
The Sect Hierarch was also severely injured by me, losing his combat strength. But then the Demon God of Tianyuan suddenly descended and defeated me…”
Just as Lou Yi heard this.
’Boom!’
The surrounding situation shifted in an instant.
Lou Yi seemed to transition from deep water to another space, with blazing spiritual fires, bone-eroding yin winds, and destructive lightning all around… instantly engulfing Lou Yi’s avatar.
“Glazed Protective Glare Armor.”
Lou Yi operated his accompanying martial skill, causing a layer of crimson, semi-transparent protective armor to appear on the surface of his body, flowing with extraordinary Dao charm, seemingly containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Although the avatar only possessed thirty percent of his true strength, the Glazed Protective Glare Armor was on par with ordinary defensive spiritual artifacts.
However, under the sudden massive wave of attacks, it lasted only for two breaths before shattering.
Lou Yi’s avatar was naturally not spared, completely collapsing and shattering into pieces.
In that moment of the avatar’s death, Lou Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Before its death, the avatar transmitted its memories to Lou Yi’s main body, informing him of everything that happened in the Yin Fiend Realm.
“There’s another hidden formation under the water pool, not easy to handle.”
“But no matter how difficult it is, it must be dealt with.
Fortunately, the formations in the sky prison were set up many years ago, and the current high-ups of the Yellow Springs Sect won’t sense anything…”
A transparent red protective glow appeared on the edge of Lou Yi’s right hand, severing half of his left arm, then forming an avatar that looked just like him.
It had been over three months since the last avatar was created, and a new one could emerge instantly upon the previous one’s fall.
Only that its blood qi was relatively weak, needing a period of cultivation to reach thirty percent of Lou Yi’s blood qi limit.
’Keep grinding, there will eventually be a breakthrough.’ Lou Yi thought to himself.
This time there was progress, successfully establishing contact with the ancient warrior.
When he goes there next time and continues to explore inside, he might obtain its inheritance.
Even if it’s just a casual hint from the other party, it could allow Lou Yi to perceive the way forward as if seeing clouds parted.
In the following days, Lou Yi continued to use his divination talent to deduce the location of key objects, advancing steadily, step by step.
Two months after returning from the Yin Fiend Realm, he bought his ancestors’ prized Hundred-Year Phoenix Tree Core from a wealthy family in Yan Kingdom, upgrading his fireproof talent.
Fireproof (Beginner 0/30+1 Hundred-Year Phoenix Tree Core) → Fireproof (Proficient 0/100+1 Thousand-Year Phoenix Tree Core)
Upon advancing to proficient level, the fire resistance of the fireproof talent increased from 90% to 95%.
Over five months later, Lou Yi acquired the “Iron Arm” talent on the human-demon battlefield, a rather rare strength talent.
As of now, Lou Yi possessed three strength talents: Wolf Bone, Great Strength, and Iron Arm, which instantly fused into a new talent: Monster Power.
Monster Power (Proficient 0/500+1 Blood Bodhi)
Monster Power (Passive): Permanently increases a certain amount of blood qi.
Monster Power (Active): Can temporarily increase physical strength by 80%.
Lou Yi’s basic strength at this moment has reached 1.3 million jin.
With Monster Power activated, it could exceed 2.3 million jin.
And adding the Dragon-Piercing Secret Technique, it could reach 2.67 million jin.
Moreover, if stacking Soul Devouring and Blood Feeding Spirit Transformation Technique, crossing 3 million jin would be effortless.
However, Lou Yi always felt that continuously stacking strength like this might not be the right direction.
The last encounter with the Perfection Dao Foundation practitioner adept in magic, as well as the grandmaster methods of the Qian Yuan Minor Realm… those were not achievable by sheer force alone.
Nevertheless, enhancing one’s strength bit by bit is never a bad thing.
Over eight months later, Lou Yi broke through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation, causing quite a stir within the sect.
Breaking through to late-stage Qi Refining in less than six years in the sect, many with Upper Grade Spirit Roots aren’t even able to achieve that.
The sect’s elder measured his spirit root again.
“Upper Grade Spirit Root, and it’s even approaching Super Grade Spirit Root!” The astonished elder exclaimed, “Could it be that you are the legendary Hidden Spirit Body, with initial spirit roots not visible, only revealing themselves later until you stand out?”
Lou Yi: …
Even providing a reason for him, saving him the trouble of crafting his story.
Time flies while cultivating in the mountains.
Soon, two years passed in a flash.
The entire situation in the Northern Domain of Central Continent has undergone earth-shattering changes.
…
